Top 10 Tuesday: Fall Mantel Inspiration

Welcome to another fabulous week of Top 10 Tuesday here at DDD. I’ve seen some amazing fall mantels around blog land and I have to admit I am extremely envious. Even though we have a fireplace in our home, it doesn’t have a mantel (tear). My hubby knows how much I love mantels and how I have dreamt of decorating one my whole life (seriously) so we attempted to build our own mantel soon after we were married. However, the space is rather challenging and after a few different tries we gave up and the project hasn’t been touched since. I’m sure I’ll be back later on this year with a mantel update, at least I’m hoping!

So until the day comes when I get to play with my own mantel, here is some fabulous fall mantel inspiration

1.Beautiful mantel from Crafty, Scrappy, Happy

2. Can you tell I’m on a book page kick lately? {AKA} Design made this gorgeous Pottern Barn knockoff mantel.

3.  I was completely drawn to this mantel from Our Family Journey, I love the fall colors!

4. Here is a very unique fall mantel from Craftberry Bush. I love the vintage window and serving platters, what a great touch.

5. Erin from 3 Meadow Lake Cottage did a fabulous job adding a hint of fall to her mantel. I love how it turned out.

6. Simple yet stunning mantel from A Pretty Life In the Suburbs.

7.  I love the colors going on in this mantel shown on The Lettered Cottage.

8. This is just brilliant… thanks Mamma Hen for inspiring those of us without a mantel!

9. A great fall and Halloween inspired mantel from Landee See, Landee Do.

10. Thrifty and Chic proved that you don’t have to use color to make a beautiful and classic fall mantel!

If your mantel was featured today, feel free to grab the button below! Thanks for your inspiration :)

    Your mantel inspired me to decorate mine. I used Pampas Grass feathers, Crape Myrtle berries. Pyracantha (sp) berries,And other things from the yard, a large frame with book pages and “FALL” spelled out inside. Love it!

It’s the time of year when most of you are putti It’s the time of year when most of you are putting away your outdoor furniture to prepare for the winter… but this is actually when we use our backyard the most! Hot tub nights, dinner outside, computer days at the table and relaxing on the new U-shaped sectional. These are the most perfect fall days. We leave all our furniture out year round, it’s the only furniture I’ll own, no matter the climate.

Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I Watch until you see it all lit up at the end!!! I add a little bit more decor every year and this year all my new Halloween finds are from @grandinroad ! The fun witch legs are my favorite, but I actually love the little skull wreaths so much too. Wait, the light up spider webs on the trees are also the perfect addition. I have to say, this year’s decor definitely takes the win! Almost time for trick or treaters!

We had these custom gas copper lanterns made by @bevolo to bring the perfect blend of timeless craftsmanship and character to our beautiful stone and brick exterior. 🤎 they are exactly what we envisioned! STUNNING. From the custom design to the warm, flickering glow after dark, every detail works together to create a look that feels both elevated and inviting. 

We couldn’t be happier with how our custom lanterns turned out. They bring the perfect finish touches to our exterior. My favorite part of our house just got even better. The happiness I feel every time I see them flickering in the night ❤️
